LUCA Boomstick\Owner Admin Joined Dec 23, 2000 Messages 10,521 Location FL Feb 24, 2007 #26 They have a few. Might have higher mileage though. You can get one there for under a hundred bucks. If you go on an "engine special" week it's even cheaper.

LUCA Boomstick\Owner Admin Joined Dec 23, 2000 Messages 10,521 Location FL Feb 27, 2007 #38 Honestly, if your engine is still good, keep it Andrew. I'd love to do a 3L, but for now I want to keep my car original, matching numbers.
